Jacob Estey.

In connection with the golden wedding of
Hon. and Mrs Jacob Estey a Brattleboro
dispatch gives the following sketch of Mr..
Estey's career: "The Esteys came from
England in the early part of the seventeenth
century and settled near Sutton, Mass
Isaac, the father of Jacob Estey, was born
in 1913 and married Patty Forbes of Royal
ton. In the early part of the present CEN
tury the Estey family removed to Hinsdale,
n. H., where on September 30, 1914, Jacob
Estey was born. After obtaining a com
mon school education he apprenticed him.
self to T. & j, Sutton, manufacturing firm
in Worcester, Mass. Early in 1885 he re-
solved to go into business for himself, and
with this object in view he journeyed to
Bratteboro, VT, and established himself in
the plumbing and lead-pipe business. His
capital in trade at this time was 500. On
the 2d of May, 1887 Jacob Estey married
Desdemona, daughter of David Wood of
Brattleboro. The young manufactures was
successful in his business enterprise from
the beginning and established an excellent
trade In 1913 he erected IA large block on
Main street. and let the upper portion of ii
to the propretors of a small melodeon fac
tory. Mr. Estey subsequently took an in
terest in the organ business, and soon pur-
chased the entire establishment, paying
therefor 81, 100. From time to time the or
gan works were enlarged. Twice the entire
plant was destroyed by fire. The demand
for the Estey organs has necessitated the
erection of new buildings from time to time,
and now the visitor to Esteyville beholds
fourteen splendidly equipped factories,
where organs and pianos are manufactured
by thousands annually. In 1866 Jacob Es-
tey admitted to partnership in the organ
business his son, Colonel Julius j. Estey
and his son-in law, Hon. Levi X. Fuller. A
charter for the Estey Organ Company was
obtained in 1872, the organization sub
sequently being effected as follows Presi-
dent, Jacob Estey; vice-presdent, Levi X
Fuller; secretary and treasurer, Julius j
Estey. Hon. Jacob Estey was a member OF
the state senate from Windham county in
1928. His son, Julius j. Estey, was sen,
ator from Windham county in 1882, and is
at present colonel of the First Regiment OF
Vermont National Guard. The only Other
living child of Jacob Estey-Abbie Els
the wife of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Fuller
Although Jacob Estey is seventy three years
of age, he still takes an active interest in
the organ industry, which he has been in
strumental in building up to its present pro
portions. This industry gives employment
to from five hundred to six hundred men
and the product of the Estey factories EN-
braces over one hundred different styles o
organs and pianos, with an annual produc
tion of from 1900 TO 10000 instruments"

that paper by Brown on the evening of
February 9th last The case was tried in
Heath x Willard's Office Saturday, before
Justice Clark King and jury consisting of
II. G. Lull, j. 9. Emery, George S. Hub
bard, Albert Johonnott, j. V. Babcock and
7. 7. Ranney. The Free Press Association
presented bill against Brown for extra
papers and charges on telegram, sent by
Brown during the last session of the legis-
lature, requesting that his letters should not
be used by the editors of that paper as a
medium through which to vent their per-
sonal spite against ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Fuller. The contest was mainly upon the
point of responsibility of the association for
debt contracted by their telegraph editor
and reporter, it being claimed that he was
in no way connected with the business de-
partment of the paper and had no authority
to bind the association by any sort of agree
ment. The jury rendered decision setting
aside this claim and empowering Brown to
collect for the services mentioned. The bill
against the latter for papers was allowed
but the association was not permitted to
recover the charges on the telegram. A
balance of eighty-two cents and costs to the
amount of S5 were awarded the plaintiff.
